Driving Collaboration in Biomedical Instrumentation to Improve Health
Biomedical instrumentation plays a critical role in the healthcare industry by enabling more accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and earlier intervention and prevention capabilities. Advancing the development of cutting-edge medical devices, actuators and sensors requires collaboration among talented scientists, engineers and clinicians, as well as an environment that facilitates the commercialisation of research results into scalable, accessible applications.
The Advanced Biomedical Instrumentation Centre (ABIC) is dedicated to bridging academic research and real-world healthcare by accelerating the translation of biomedical innovations into impactful clinical solutions. The Centre aims to foster global collaboration among top-notch engineers, scientists, and clinicians to develop next-generation microfluidics and low-cost instrumentation technologies, while leveraging Hong Kong’s vibrant start-up ecosystem to commercialise research outputs.
- Product Innovation with Engineering Excellence: develop innovative materials, therapeutic agents, devices and tools that require exceptionally precise manufacturing and highly sophisticated engineering know-how, and AI-enabled software products
- Clinical Services Transformed with Novel Technologies: develop novel technologies that will transform clinical labs, and detect and analyse diseases with higher accuracy, lower cost, faster results, more convenient use, and other clinically impactful improvements
- Technologies for Next Generation CRO: develop innovative research tools, such as organoids and animal neuro-testing systems, for safer, faster, more accurate, lower-cost, and more scalable implementation of pre-clinical research and drug development
